  • This is essentially cosmetic. At this point the IRQs are already
    disabled because we called spin_lock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock).

    The real bug here was fixed back in 2006 in 3a10ccebe: "[PATCH] lock
    validator: fix ns83820.c irq-flags bug". Prior to that patch, it was
    a "spin_lock_irq is not nestable" type bug. The 2006 patch changes the
    unlock to not re-enable IRQs, which eliminates the potential deadlock.

    But this bit was missed. We should change the lock function as well so
    it balances nicely.

  • fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0)

    We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers.

    Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this
    assertion documented in driver sources.

    Change most occurrences of :

    skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;

    by :

    skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Only files where David Miller is the primary git-signer.
    wireless, wimax, ixgbe, etc are not modified.

    Compile tested x86 allyesconfig only
    Not all files compiled (not x86 compatible)

    Added a few > 80 column lines, which I ignored.
    Existing checkpatch complaints ignored.

  • Second round of drivers for Gb cards (and NIU one I forgot in the 10GB round)

    Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
    in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
    (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

    Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

  • This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
    a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
    now, no harm done.

    I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
    that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

  • Many drivers had code that did kill_vid, but they weren't doing vlan
    filtering. With new API the stub is unneeded unless device sets
    NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER.

    Bad habit: I couldn't resist fixing a couple of nearby style things
    in acenic, and forcedeth.

  • This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
    x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
    a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
    external fragmentation conditions.

    I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
    softirq context of the RCU callback.
